Reasons for Rejection

[Asivad Anac]

I am surprised that PCC are issued with the current address on it.

I have got my Indian PCC although I reside in Canada. But it does not have any Indian Address mentioned. It just says my name and my passport number.

Also, my Fiance who is currently residing in India got her PCC but it does not have any current residential address mentioned.

Is it that the few countries mention the current address due to which application are getting rejected, if the applicant changes his/her address from the one mentioned on PCC?

The problem is more likely to arise when applicants get PCC from provincial police authorities instead of passport (or equivalent federal/national) authorities. Forum members had earlier reported rejections when Indian applicants provided PCCs issued by local authorities - those PCCs were time-bound or geography-bound or both.

Ah..I think applicants need to be clear that PCC needs to be issued via passpost authorities or equivalent bodies.

Such a pain to get these minute things right.

In my case, I am not sure if my country has any other way of issuing pcc. So do I now need two PCcs for the same country ? One for birth till marriage and 2nd for marriage till present. Will this work ?

Can you check with the passport authorities in your country? And if that isn't possible, you should definitely consider getting multiple PCCs that cover your entire stay in that country since the time you turned 18.

Yes absolutely. One from the city you lived till marriage and the other from current city of residence. In pak, there is no central authority and PCC is issued from the office of District Police Officer (DPO).
Good luck and stay strong through testing times

Hi was just reading about the rejection on pcc basis and just shocked. Please help me check out if this may also apply to me. My spouse's residential address is A and it's mentioned in her passport, however after marriage she moved to my house - address B. But I have just checked in her pcc it's mentioned that she, who's residing in address A is 'clean'. The city has been the same for both of us during all our lives. Can this make an issue that her certificate does not mention our common address B??? :-\ though there is no timeline on it

Please could you share some advice (((
p.s. the certificate is issued on country scale.

Though having an address on the PCC is strange, no problem if the document is not time-bound.

I am actually in the same city but different areas. Do you know where exactly I need to get the pcc from in Karachi that is not time and address bound ?

In punjab, it is issued by District Police Officer. Not sure about KHI. If your address is in two different districts in KHI then you need to contact concerned police authorities in district of your residence. If it is in the same district, then probably one PCC mentioning both addresses and period of stay at each address. What CIC require is that all of your duration after the age of 18 is covered through one or multiple PCC's.

Its the same all across Pakistan. There is no central authority except DPO. As long as you have a police certificate which mentions the entire period since the age of 18 (or two certificates with different addresses which combine to that period you are fine).

In Pakistan every police certificate has an address. In fact PC is issued based upon which address you are currently residing and getting it from.

Since I have lived in many cities across many years (add my spouse to that). We just got certs from two of our major residences covering the entire period since the age of 18.

I have friends who worked say in Karachi for a few years and submitted even job experience letter from that location. But their police certificate was from Lahore since their home address on NIC never changed.

For CIC, you need PC from Pakistan, covering the entire period since the age of 18. Whether you do it with 1, 2 or 3 certificates is entirely up to you.

The rejection cases mentioned didn't cover those periods example they were issued a PC only since 2010 or 2013 on a particular address. The issue is length of time, not address.

There is no such thing. Generally speaking if you wish to go very fair way - submit your NIC and use the address on it and get a single police certificate.

If you address has changed on NIC more than once, you need to get multiple police certificates each from the corresponding THANA which falls into your address.

A way around is just to tell your current police station to use your address for full length of time as on your NIC. Thora kharcha karwatay hain (max 2-3k PKR phir kehtay hain, jitna period chahiay likhwa lo chahay NIC par pura period tha ya nahin)

"If using your passport, include a copy of the page that shows your birth date, country of origin, etc. "

These are the exact words given during uploading the passport scanned copy.

Reading between the lines, it says.

1. Inclusion of page which shows birth date and country of origin is mandatory.
2. "etc" - Means a lot !

Depends on the case worker and his/her definition of etc. !

Not really.

'etc' in that sentence refers to other information on that page (which is mentioned in singular) in addition to birth date and country of origin.

was wondering if someone has a fair idea whether they start BG check once medical has passed in their system irrespective EE is updated or not?

Actually, in my case, medical is in review and bg is in progress. I am a treated case of VSD (hole in heart), I submitted echo and ecg with my emedical report along with the doctor's recommendation which stated that I am medically fit for next 5 years.

Any comments senior members please?

You can check the frame size of the photo in Photoshop: Image --> Image Size --> Document Size (which is different from pixel dimensions). Also note that the 35 mm X 45 mm requirement was prefaced by 'at least'. So, this does not contradict the 50 mm X 70 mm requirement set out in 5445eb.pdf document.

But, I myself have a related question regarding this. I already submitted my e-APR, with a digital photo that conforms to all the requirements set out in the e-APR uploading section (the blue dot with an exclamation mark in it).

However, the digital photo does not conform to all the requirements in the requirements set out in the 5445eb.pdf file. Specifically, in my digital photo, my mouth was slightly open, whereas in the 5445eb.pdf, it explicitly states that the mouth must be closed.

On the other hand, the e-APR instructions do not say anything about what facial expressions must be like.

I am guessing this digital photo is not that important considering that at the final stage (if one gets to that), the applicant will be asked for physical photos in the step called Passport Request.

Does anyone know whether they actually reject applications because of problems with the digital photo submitted in e-APR?

Regarding digital photograph, in E-APR it is mentioned that frame size should be 35mm X 45 mm. What does that mean for a digital photograph?

I am uploading photograph having dimensions 2018 x 2465 and file size 672 Kb. I am not sure whether frame size limit is applicable for digital photographs.

Also, there is another 5445eb which say that photo should be 50mm x 70 mm. It has some requirements for Name, DOB and address of photogrpah. Does it apply to digital photograph for e-APR. Please advise.
